Installing the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series
There are two power supply slots (PSU1 on top and PSU2 on the bottom).
• If you only have one power supply, you can install it in either PSU1 or PSU2.
• If you install a second power supply, neither one acts as a primary power supply. The two
power supplies load share equally.
Before you begin
• If you are replacing an installed power supply, see
• Remove the power cord before installing or removing the power supply.
Note:
The design of the latch mechanism that secures the power supply enforces this safety
practice.
Procedure
1. Remove the two screws that secure the filler panel to the chassis. (Save the filler panel for
possible future use.)
2. Slide the power supply into the slot.
3. Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot. The spring latch should engage and
return to its original position.
Note:
The chassis design prevents an incorrect installation of a power supply. If you insert a
power supply upside down, it will not fully insert.
4. Once you install a power supply, you can connect the AC power cord to the power supply on
the back of the switch, and then connect the cord to an AC power outlet.
